Bear Creek Mill, Rustburg, VA





Bear Creek Mill, Rustburg, VA
"Twitty's"

Gorgeous day, it was a bit humid, taken early July 2020, hubby was taking these pictures with his Android cell phone, i am so shocked by the great details, i feel they are way better than when i use my camera. i am curious why or how??! Are we moving toward the day that we will only use cell phones for picture or what?? ...when we were "grist mill hunting", my hubby was on a roll ...he is really having a ball trying to hunt down ones we have taken the time to drive 2. Being that we are at home, trying to "social distances" from others ...he has been working a schedule of working Wednesday to Sunday ... off Monday and Tuesday ...so we get out there on our new weekend times. It really is less folks, because a lot of folks are home or at least going to their offices. 

Thank you for stopping by. Hope you are well. Take Care. Beth ( ;

Pretty little grist mill. I think cell phones are more convenient and you usually have them with you. The pictures are almost good camera quality. Happy Sunday

Going places during the week is a great way to avoid crowds.

Today I posted pics of Graves Chapel. We went there on Tuesday, inspired by your posts. (THANK YOU!)

Yes, phone cameras can take great scenery shots. I find closeups of things and people are somewhat skewed though. Glad to find your blog and start to see what you post! That creek must have been re-routed so the mill is dry. I also love seeing the waterwheels.

"Bar U Ranch" , National Historic Site. Established in 1882, it was huge ranching operation  "even more info here." .  if you know anything about me, you will know I have always wanted to live on a farm, own a farm, have horses, cows, dogs, cats, garden, fields, quiet & peace the whole 9 or is it 10 yards. I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall" .  so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get ...

We both shared such a love for travel & photography. You will be missed. Rest In Peace, great "CameraGirl", RIP! ( : Where do we even start?, I continued to say to my hubby throughout our trip to Washington, Oregon, northern CA back in August 2015, that I wondered how I could take a picture of the whole tall tree? The trees in in the eastern US are huge, but the trees out west are gigantic, massive, huge!! There are .... THEY ARE! ...how do I even begin to show a picture of these awesome trees? I don't own a fancy camera just a normal point and shoot. How do I express to you the magnitude of how tall these massive trees are? they are huge!!! & will you...
